A group of us got together to photograph street shots on Mill Ave in Tempe AZ. This was just a fun shoot with the idea we would ask complete strangers if we could take their photos. It was a blast! Have a look in my gallery page for the Mill Ave shoot… many more images here. Have a look at how we set it up.

How it was shot

To keep things really simple and most of all.. to not tie up peoples time we placed 5×5 piece of white seamless paper on a wall. The area was in covered shade and facing to the north. Some what of a north light studio if you will…just on location. A white 42″ reflector was used to provide fill light. I shot these images fairly shallow at F/4.0 to just have the focus areas being the face.

This guy was a real character. Lots of fun to work with… in about 45 sec of shooting these were my favorite shots from the day.

A simple reflector and some covered shade can really bring your images to the next level. The black and white conversion was accomplished with the Nik Silver eFex Pro plug-in and I dodged and burned in some of the highlights and shadows.
